Manfred Nowak Discusses Two of China's Heroes

An interesting article about two dissidents in the PRC, who have been subjected to vile treatment by the Beijing regime.

The gentlemen in question are human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, who protested the persecution of the Falun Gong cult, and Hu Ji, campaigned on behalf of raising AIDS and environmental awareness and human rights.

A timely reminder of the sort of people Obama regards as his new Best Friends Forever, and with whom Phil Goff concluded his infamous free trade deal.
